Sensual Safari

Sensual Safari begins in the green countryside near San Ramón, where cooler air and cloud-forest scenery give the two of you room to settle in. Villa Blanca is the starting stay for two nights, surrounded by the mountain landscape rather than a busy resort town. The first full day is open: enjoy a slow breakfast, spend time on the hotel grounds or pause over the view before the more active part of the journey.

The pleasure here is the slower pace and the small details of the forest. Listen for birds and look closely at the plants around you, without expecting particular wildlife sightings. Walking shoes, layers and rain protection help with damp trails and changeable weather. Ask your planner about any separately arranged guided outing or spa treatment if you would like to add something to the free day.

Arenal brings a warmer, livelier middle to the honeymoon: volcanic scenery, rainforest and rivers surround the La Fortuna area. Your three nights at the starting Arenal Kioro hotel include time for its hot springs between outings. The selected adventures are the Arenal Paraíso zipline on Day 4 and Río Sarapiquí Class II–III rafting on Day 5, giving you two different ways to experience the forest and water.

If you prefer a gentler experience, the available alternatives include a guided hanging-bridges walk, a Caño Negro riverboat safari, a Peñas Blancas float or a chocolate tour. Lake kayaking and other active outings are also listed. These replace a selected activity when requested, with requirements, timing and any price difference confirmed for your group. A stroll around La Fortuna’s center or a relaxed meal gives you a change of pace after the adventures; volcano visibility depends on the weather.

Four nights in Manuel Antonio give the honeymoon a relaxed coastal finish. Los Altos Resort is the starting stay, with spacious condo-style accommodations set above the Pacific in a rainforest landscape. Two days remain open around the included Planet Dolphin catamaran cruise, so there is time to enjoy the hotel pool, visit the public beach or choose a restaurant for a sunset meal together.

The cruise introduces the coast from the water and includes lunch, with swimming or snorkeling when conditions permit. Marine wildlife is possible rather than guaranteed. If you want another focus, listed alternatives include a naturalist-guided national-park visit, mangrove kayaking, surfing, a waterfall horseback ride and spice or coffee-and-chocolate experiences. Arenas Del Mar Beach and Nature Resort is an equivalent luxury stay option with direct beach access. Extra outings, meals and hotel substitutions are confirmed separately; leaving time simply to enjoy the beach is part of the appeal.

• The ten-day route moves from two Villa Blanca nights in San Lorenzo to three at Arenal Kioro and four at Los Altos in Manuel Antonio.
• Arenal provides the active middle chapter, with the Arenal Paraíso canopy outing and Río Sarapiquí Class II and III rafting as the starting experiences.
• The Planet Dolphin coastal cruise takes place in the Manuel Antonio stay, adding a Pacific outing to the inland adventures.
• Three open full days across the trip allow time together at the mountain property and coast; extra activities are separate requests.
• This honeymoon or anniversary route balances adventure with longer coastal time. Ask your planner to match physical demands, hotel preferences and transportation to both travelers.
